Big Ant, I'm no one to give any autographs.You missed my point.It's very easy to have a strong opinion against an obvious contender when there is little at risk.When you are betting very serious money, you still have to stick to your guns(as you seem to be re SJ) but with a little more respect for a horse that has accomplished more than most and is fast.In any event, I wish all playersby miff - Ask the Experts
I would not blame the horse. I have observed "WIDE" MIKEY SMITH for years.He continues to ride that way. Can't understand the genius trainers who keep using him.by miff - Ask the Experts
wow, what bravado, tossing the fastest horse,by far. I'll bet you are a real big bettor with much greater knowledge and insight than most of us mortals.by miff - Ask the Experts
SJ is much faster than most and that does not even speak to his style,(i.e NOT A GROUND LOSS TYPE)The whole question is whether he has one more in him at the distance and he will be one of the choices.by miff - Ask the Experts
Value Plus would appear to have distance limitations. SJ is still a question mark, even though he has accomplished much more than VP.by miff - Ask the Experts
If you think he's over the top, you have to toss him. Big ant is certain he's off the board,I'm on the fence until I see how the track is playing on Sat.by miff - Ask the Experts
durability, my big concern,does sj have one more in him or should he be a toss.Tough call, I would hate to blow the exotics by not using him since i feel all payoff's will be good this year regardless of who hits the board.by miff - Ask the Experts
I've have used speed figures and sheets for over 20 yeasrs and can tell you that a horse will x, or pair up almost equally in this pattern.The circumstance presents itself everytime a horse runs a top then bounces slightly and then??? x's, pairs up or rarely runs a new top.That's what I have seen, generally.by miff - Ask the Experts
Yes,I know this, if you strictly believe in this theory and bet accordingly, you must also believe in the tooth fairy. Each horse is different and each situation is different.There is no documented evidence of an 0=2=x but rather a pattern which shows itself from time to time.by miff - Ask the Experts
no, dont't know milf. as much of a shot that I give SJ in the KD,the TC is the most grueling set of races in short order and it takes a special constitution as well as raw talent. I can't say any of this crop is worthy of my personal thinking on this subject.I do know that an awful lot of SLOW horses are being touted and I can't see it.That's what makes this game great, everyoby miff - Ask the Experts
CURIOUS, he's faster than all of those "phony" horses with GROUND LOSS #"s .I'M hoping he's not over the top and has one more in hiM ,but I admit this is the toughest KD I have seen in 40 years.This is truly an ordinary group at this point.by miff - Ask the Experts
BIG ANT, Shhhh!!! please. SJ is the least talked about KD HORSE TALKED ABOUT, WITH THE BIGGEST SHOTby miff - Ask the Experts
